Vinegar saves the day ! Ok, the shirt....

I am so thankful for Vinegar.
We had a laundry incident with some gum going through the wash. It seemed an expensive shirt was ruined, as it would NOT come out. Icing it didn't do a thing. I tried. A lot. My poor fingers are still numb.

I turned to the  trusty internet. I was led to Allyou.com, where they suggested warmed vinegar.
Vinegar? Ok. I'll try anything at this point.
Well, I dug out the vinegar from the back of the lower cabinet, poured it into a small dish, and nuked it for about 30 seconds. (It heats quite fast) And then I poured it on the small irritating gum spots, to saturate them.

IT WORKED!

The gum dissolved as it sat on the shirt. It was tossed back into the washer and came out totally gum free!
Vinegar has earned a new place on the Laundry shelf. 
 

A New Adventure

I've been tossing the idea of blogging back and forth for a while now. 

Up until now, I didn't have a purpose for a blog. Blogs are supposed to serve a purpose, right? It should contain something that appeals to others, shouldn't it?
If I have nothing to offer to the mass of blog readers out there, why bother? 

But I want to try anyhow. Maybe something I post will appeal to someone, somewhere.

So, today my blogging adventure begins!
